Elephant Hills, and its sister property, the floating Rainforest Camp, are both found in the lush green landscapes of Khao Sok National Park, a mere two hours from Phuket. Both combine comfortable but rustic tents, more akin to Africa than Thailand with proper beds, ensuite showers and a small terrace with hammocks.
While staying here guests walk and hike, spot wildlife or explore the mangroves by canoe but the focus here is all about the elephant, working hard to prevent human-elephant conflict, care of former logging elephants or those working in the tourist industry.
Steppes Travel, like Elephant Hills, do not condone elephant riding so the days are spent in gentle interaction with these majestic animals, helping the team with this and their other projects and exploring the National Park. Of course, there is always time to relax on a terrace and watch the sunset over the jungle.
The main draw of any stay here are the elephants. All stays are fully inclusive and include a range of activities from rainforest and mangrove explorations to river and lake adventures by canoe or long-tail boat. Head further afield to visit local villages or stay overnight in the floating tents at Elephant Hills sister property, Rainforest Camp – an immersive jungle experience.
Located in Southern Thailand amidst National Parks and situated below jungle covered karst mountains alongside the Sok River. The hotel is reached overland from Phuket airport in two to three hours and Krabi in two and a half hours.
We know a thing or two about bespoke holidays – we’ve been creating them since 1989. Take a trip through the Thailand Holidays that we love today.

Amy really understood the type of holiday we were looking for with a real mixture of accommodation and activities ranging from relaxing to exciting. When I asked for a private pool on the beach that's exactly what she delivered. Amy embraced every request, making sure they blended, giving us something new and exciting at every turn. The ethos of Steppes travel is what will always set you aside. Thank you and keep up the good work.
